🐎Protohippus gidleyi lived millions of years ago in Alabama!
This three-toed, ancient horse shows early adaptations to grasslands. Its worn teeth helped
grind plants, and its fossils tell the story of horse evolution in our state.

So what’s the difference between crocodiles & alligators?
Though both are crocodilians but belong to different families!
Alligators: U-shaped snouts & generally less aggressive
Crocodiles: V-shaped snouts & are more territorial
